Chapter 2026: Chapter 2026: A Collaboration (Part 4)
"Master, aren’t you revealing the secrets of heaven by telling me this?" Yang Ruxin gave the two monks a teasing look, "Revealing heavenly secrets can incur divine punishment, you know?"
"Amitabha, we are merely enlightening those who have a connection with us, where is the reveal?" Master Puji smiled.
"So, are we considered to have a connection?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Master Puji and Master Qing Lian glanced at each other, then nodded, "You could say that."
"I see that the master is quite adept at doing business. How about we collaborate? I guarantee it will be more profitable than selling Ruyi ropes." Yang Ruxin chuckled.
Master Qing Lian’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.
"This..." Master Puji hesitated.
"Beijing is a difficult place to live." Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly, "If the master is unwilling, then I’ll go to Xing’an Temple..."
"You girl, why rush?" Puji hurriedly waved his hand, "First, tell me what kind of business you want to do."
"Vegetarian meals." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Master, you must have heard, I have a special way of growing some vegetables and grains, the taste..." As she spoke, she took a carrot out of her backpack, "Try it first."
Master Puji and Master Qing Lian weren’t pretentious, they each cut a piece and started chewing on it.
"However much there is, I want it all..." Puji took a bite and clutched the rest of the carrot tightly in his arms.
"I said, let’s collaborate." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "Collaborate on vegetarian dishes. I’ll provide the ingredients in the name of thriving vegetarian cuisine, you’ll handle the cooking, and we’ll promote it using Dahuguo Temple’s reputation... we’ll split the profits fifty-fifty."
"Vegetarian meals are usually provided free to patrons..."
"The ones that were free before can remain free, but every day there will be a table of top-grade vegetarian dishes prepared personally by the head master, which requires silver and reservations, a table with eight dishes, the highest bidder wins..."
"This..." Puji was tempted but felt it was somewhat unreliable.
"Although Dahuguo Temple is a royal temple that enjoys royal patronage, the Emperor never said you can’t connect with ordinary people, nor did he say you’re not allowed to earn extra income?"
Puji frowned, pondering for a while, then suddenly nodded, "Indeed, it’s a good idea, but you should know, if I personally cook, even with ordinary ingredients, a lot of people will come, yet you are only providing the ingredients, so fifty-fifty..."
"But can those vegetarian dishes live up to your reputation?"
Master Puji looked at the so-called contract handed over by the other party, feeling a bit annoyed, wasn’t he enlightening her? How did it turn into a business deal? Still being talked into cooperation by the other party, this...
"Alright." Yang Ruxin folded the contract and placed it back in her backpack, then pulled out two sheets of paper, "Here’s a menu, Master can refer to it, and as for when to start the auction announcement, I have some suggestions here as well, all written down, you can use them as a reference..."
"You came here today just to talk business with me, right?" Puji was upset enough to want to hit someone.
"Didn’t expect to succeed." Yang Ruxin nodded honestly, "I didn’t even expect to meet you, but it turns out heaven still takes good care of me, so we’ll have happy cooperation in the future..."
"Alright then, since you’ve provided the menu, how about going to the kitchen and making it once for me to see..."
